Galleria

@Lee Felix “I’m sorry.. I didn’t want you to think I’m rude to say no to your kind offer.” Minhyuk said gently, he still wasn’t sure if opening up was the right option but it was too late to regret it. “Yeah, life wasn’t always full of butterflies and flowers…” He still managed to smile at him, it’s not like he could tell him his background for real, his life was so messy since a very young age.Plus no one would like to hear he was a second lead in a large gang. Still not feeling like lying to that stunning boy, sitting next to him while Felix was trying different shoes, each of them fit perfectly for him. “I can tell… your accent is quite y, speak in English for me.” He chuckled softly at him, watching his movement he blinked in surprise at his next suggestion, he didn’t expect it at all.The blonde guy was so adorable when he was suddenly pouting at him, even if he had any other plans he wanted to go with him. Like he said before it was pretty hard to say no to him, guys like him could easily make him do as they want but he didn’t say it out loud. “Please don’t pout with those pretty lips of yours… It makes me so sad.” He said and almost pouted himself to the adorable guy next to him. “I would be glad to go with you… Am I going as a bodyguard or a plus one?” Minhyuk asked and winked at him, looking into his big beautiful eyes while his lips. “I really hope I can entertain you there.” He said gently to him, trying not to pinch his cute cheeks while he was pouting so cutely.

@Lee Minhyuk "Oh?" Felix wasn't expecting that to be the response and gulped his sip of champagne down more harshly than intended. People usually were more open to sharing things with Felix but as Minhyuk had be somewhat guarded over his other questions, this had been direct. Felix tried not to look disconcerted by the info and just flick his wrist sending the other glass of champagne away wordlessly. "That must have been hard for you growing up... are you from here?" The shoes arrived and Felix sat down lifting a foot and letting the attendants change the shoes for him, patting a space beside him on the bench for Minhyuk. "I'm not from here, but I'm sure you could tell," He chuckled into his glass taking a light sip. Ever since he moved to Atrani, his accent was always the quickest giveaway to him being a foreigner. The blond ran his fingers back through his hair contemplating the different styles of shoes on each of his feet, kicking a leg up to examine then repeating with the other. "If you like spending time with me then maybe you can accompany me to this ceremony?" Directing the store staff, he approved of both pairs of shoes and requested they put on the other pairs for consideration. "Unless you have other plans," Felix pouted just to add extra emphasis, "It's boring going alone." Usually Felix was the life of a party, but stuffy old men wasn't usually his target audience.

@Lee Felix “Well, you might be right- but still who wouldn’t want to protect someone so stunning like you?” Minhyuk was trying to keep it sound like a joke but his work indeed was quite dangerous. Felix didn’t look like the type to get scared easily but still he couldn’t just say- ‘Hi I’m the second lead of a huge gang’. The older sure liked the way those bug eyes of him looked at him, knowing this boy was special. Almost cursing as he liked that moment when their eyes met together. The staff of Louis vuitton sure treated him like he was a diamond, It also looked like Felix was pretty used to being treated that way. Minhyuk almost blinked as the pretty boy called him his ‘friend’ he didn’t expect to hear that from him. Felix seemed pretty excited about shopping, it was adorable and made him want to buy just anything for him. Of course trying to keep up and follow him, to see him ordering the stuff around just made him smirk. The blonde boy sure had much confidence in him and it was just y. HIs eyes were soft when he offered him a drink. “Thank you, beautiful, but alcohol really isn’t my thing. My dad was an alcoholic. ” Minhyuk never said it out loud to others but Felix didn’t know who he was after all, and it just slipped from his tongue without thinking too much, thinking maybe he needed to light up the mood after those words just came out . “To your question, beautiful- I like shopping if it means I will spend more time with you.” He chuckled softly, winking at him, pretty sure that boy could make him do anything he wanted, even when he said no to the champagne.

@Lee Minhyuk “A shame indeed. Sounds like you have a dangerous~ job.” The words curled off his tongue while eyes still roamed over Minhyuk. Felix had taken his response as a flirting joke but with the things he’s peeped outside of his district, he couldn’t be too sure that it was a joke entirely. He stepped backwards eyes finally tracing back up to the older male’s face when a chipper voice sang his name from behind. “Felixxx~ Welcome back!”

Felix turned to be greeted by the staff, a lady and two men, a few bows, and beaming smiles. Felix mirrored theirs in turn, eye crinkling as he went in for a quick chaste and professional hug with the salesperson. “Yes I am back, with my good friend Minhyuk,” he held his hand out as if presenting the older to them instead of introducing, “So what’s new. Show me.” The aura around Felix was practically shimmering with excitement. He walked around like he owned the place directing a nearby staff with a flick of his wrist, “you there. Champagne.” As he kept walking, glancing back ever so often to make sure Minhyuk was nearby before focusing on the various shoes and bags presented to them. With no careful contemplation at all Felix pointed out 5 pairs of shoes and asked them to bring them out. The champagne arriving right after they left. “Champagne?” He asked taking a glass delicately between his finger and holding it out to Minhyuk curiously. He was tiring to get the other to relax. He seemed a little tense after asking about his job. “Do like shopping too?” It seemed to Felix that the other was just as excited for new things as he was, but he could have been reading that wrong.

@Lee Felix Even when the other rolled his eyes at him it was cute, Felix was unique, he could feel it. Not just beautiful but he wasn’t sure he met someone like him. His shy smile made him look even more beautiful if it was even possible. He was young but still he could feel Felix had self confidence and it was refreshing and interesting. “Louis Vuitton? It suits you very well, I can see that.” He said with another bright smile to the beautiful guy. Minhyuk almost gasped as he felt Felix holding his bicep , letting him feel his muscle, the older liked the way he was touching him.
“Sure, beautiful, you deserve to wear something beautiful, I can get you whatever you want.” He said quite honestly to the younger boy. Nodding his head he was following Felix very willingly, entering the store with him he had to think what he could tell that boy. He couldn’t just say ‘you see I'm the second to the leader of a gang and yeah I murder people’. It was hard, he didn’t want to scare the beautiful boy away. “My job is a secret, if I tell you I might have to kill you, and let’s face it… it would be such a shame to lose someone so beautiful and unique like you.” Even when his words weren’t a lie he hoped Felix would find it as a little joke or wouldn’t run away after he said such things. He now wondered if he should have lied to him instead, for some reason that boy made his honest side wake up.

@Lee Minhyuk The blond rolled his eyes playfully, biting the tip of his thumbnail to keep a shy smile at bay, catching Minhyuk's eye and slowly looking away. Minhyuk was laying it on thick. "I'm 23 right now," Quickly he thought about his favorite brand, it kind of depended on what aesthetic he was going for but, "Louis Vuitton, that's my fave right now." His arm tightened around the bicep of the older one, fingers splayed kneading the muscle there. It felt real, like muscles weren't just for show. Made Felix wonder what he did for a living to acquire all these funds. "Something beautiful, like me?" The blond pointed to himself trying to contain a giddy smile behind clamped lips and failing once again. He liked how gentle the older was toward him, tossing in a little spicy flirting every now and then. Minhyuk must be thinking he's so easy to please. When it came to shopping though. He unfortunately was. It was just something about Louis Vuitton that made him feel comfortable. "Then let's go to Louis Vuitton next hehe." He smiled giddily while coaxing him through the doors of the luxury store. "So what do you do for a living if you can spoiled me like this? Lemme guess..." Felix freed himself from Minhyuk's arm searching him up and down for a clue, circling around his body eyes roaming for any significance. "Are you a stock broker? A body builder? Real estate ?"

@Lee Felix Minhyuk really couldn’t stop smiling with that boy, his face looked so shining and he was so aware of his power, it was dangerous but also very hard to resist him anyway. It was quite a surprise Felix made some step closer but he indeed liked that, looking into his eyes as they walked out from the store. It seemed like the blonde guy liked to be spoiled and he didn’t mind at all spoiling him as he deserved. His laugh was cute as well, he thought to himself and chuckled at his answer. “Oh why indeed?Hi now, don’t pout with those plump beautiful lips of yours.” he said and winked at him, following him around he let him lead the way. Curious to see what he wanted to buy. “Yes I am, that’s nice! Thanks, how old are you, beautiful?” he asked him with a smile. “ Also what is your favorite brand? I feel like buying you something beautiful like you.” he said gently to him.

@Lee Minhyuk Felix beamed, feeling accomplished and comfortable. He liked to spend money without thinking about it and Minhyuk seemed like he had enough money to not care about the price either. So after he paid for their things Felix slid his arm into the crook of the older's and hugged his arm bringing out his bag on the other arm. Instead of answer yes or no to the question Felix just laughed, lowering a brow and side glancing at Minhyuk while shaking his head, "Why would someone say that cruel word to me. I don't like no's..." He puffed his cheeks into a pout and looked away as they exited the store, searching for their next destination while pulling Minhyuk along. "I also didn't ask you about you. Are you really 33? You kinda look like you could be 30 but you also look like I would have to check your ID to make sure you really were?"

@Hwang Hyunjin Sena was too consumed by emotions to notice a young man approach, and when the strange accent reached his ears Sena flinched and stared at the person warily. He looked- fancy. "..." It took a good three seconds but then Sena's wariness melted away. Why? He was clearly not a local, judging by how he spoke. Besides, it was nice of them to check in. Sena swallowed, but there was not much to work with. His throat felt dry. He wanted to use this opportunity, this person, to help him achieve this goal but he had no idea how.. "I uhm, yeah-", he started, radiating awkwardness which was really very unliked him. He cleared his throat, looked down at his shoes, saw the other's fine polished leather ones in the corner of his vision and then looked back at the young man. "I'm trying to buy stuff." . How was he going to ask for help to enter a store. He wasn't a ing toddler!! This was so embarrassing. So embarrassing... but he really wanted to buy his parents' gifts... "But- uhm" His cheeks flushed, his light eyes quivering unsurely. "......" Silence. Then, very, very, very softly, he said. "I can't bring myself to enter any stores. They're all so fancy." Sena was a healthy pink now, and not just his hair or his lips. How shameful...

@Sena A boring day, really. Hyunjin was pinged for a minuscule error on a testing system, and given that he was in town, he'd thought to check it out. Trevi was his preferred district of choice. Free of crimes (for the most part) and dusted with various art forms and sights. If he didn't know what he did about the gangs wandering within the crevices of such a city, he would've considered it a nice vacation spot. Shaking his head dismissively, the lad turned his heel to head toward the malfunctioning system- only to slow his pace at the sight of something, or rather, someone. The poor thing looked strikingly out of place and was that... Fear? "Blimey... Are you alright, love?" Amusement coated the Brit's tone, a spark of worry residing in his dark eyes while he approached Sena. His attire was vastly different. A sleek vest with trousers. Italian linen, custom-made. Ill-fitting clothes made his skin crawl. "You seem a bit lost, sweets."

@Lee Felix Minhyuk was wondering what was going on inside his pretty head, thinking about the first outfit he was wearing he just shook his head. Usually he was the type to have a one night stand, but right now he felt like spending more time with the beautiful boy, it was something he didn’t do often, or at all. his eyes rested on Felix, it was very hard not to smile at him. That boy was sure very stunning, no one could deny that. Hearing his voice made him just stare into his big eyes while thinking about what he just asked him. “Did someone say no to you before?” he asked him with curiosity, and chuckled softly. Felix’s big eyes were so sparkling and shining, he really thought no one could resist him. “Sure, I would take you shopping, beautiful.” He said with a small smile, thinking he really managed to make him all smiley. Paying for his clothes when he reached the counter he was looking at the other. “What are we going to look for?” He asked with curious eyes.

@Lee Minhyuk After stepping out of the dressing room, Felix made his way to the register, with a little smile to himself. He was being devious in this thoughts, feeling that Minhyuk was already under his spell. After that 'handsome 33 year old' comment, he wondered could Minhyuk really keep up with the way Felix was. It wasn't for everybody, it wasn't for a lot of people actually. He placed, his items on the counter checking out the man from the back. Somehow the sweater had done the world a disservice because this white shirt was the object of so many romance novel's love interest, since the 1980s. Peering into both of his eyes individually when they man turned and questioned him, Felix ran his tongue along his teeth, watching the man cautiously "If you're done shopping, do you wanna... take me shopping?" The blond smiled, with a slight shrug, eyes sparkling when they met the other's, "If that's not too much too much of your time to ask for..."

@Hwang Hyunjin Sena thought he was pretty good with handling high-stress situations. He wouldn't freak out when most other's would, and keep a calm enough head to get out of most things. Who knew the Galleria would get the best out of him. His parents' 25th wedding anniversary was coming up and Sena had wanted to buy them something nice. He'd been saving up for it for quite some time now, and had put aside 1000$ for gifts. He had done his research too. He would buy his dad a wallet, and his mother a scarf. But now that he was here, standing in this grand building with the adorned walls and impressive glass ceiling... he couldn't bring himself to walk into any of the stores. Everything was so expensive... All the people here looked so expensive, and Sena felt thoroughly out of place. He was wearing a simple slightly baggy black graphic T-shirt and denim shorts that bared his legs. He was wearing platform ankle boots that raised him up to 1.73cm, and had a cloth bath hanging off on shoulder. His long pink hair was tied up into a ponytail due to the heat. He was standing next to a wall and picking at his lower lip, eyes wide and... fearful... as he stared around the place. Anyone and their dog could tell he felt intimidated by the place.

@Lee Felix Felix was such a nice view to look at while he was holding his hair up, wondering to himself if he liked the outfit he just wore now, it was quite simple but he tried not to blow the mind of the old guys so it seemed to him like a good fit. “Oh yeah, A very muscular guy with a very handsome face.” He chuckled and winked at him. “Will wait for you, beautiful.” It was hard to say no to the other and he was pretty sure Felix knew how people couldn’t resist him. He made him feel like his entire character changed when he waa so close, like he wasn’t any brutal assassin.Changing himself for his white buttoned up shirt, deciding he should get the sweater he just tried on and some clothes hs tried before, picking them up as well. Watching Felix when he finished dressing up, his eyes were just a little undressing him but he shook his head, feeling like he wasn’t someone who would just like to have a one night stand with him. with his own clothes the blonde was just stunning, no matter what he was wearing. Quite glad Felix seemed comfortable next to him because he didn’t feel like leaving his side just yet. Following him to the counter, that boy looked like a beautiful candy he couldn’t resist and wanted to eat so badly, still he couldn’t just hit on him aggressively for some reason. “Already got all the clothes I need, I finished my shopping.. What about you, beautiful?” His voice was again pretty soft to him. One could mistake him for being a good guy.

@Lee Minhyuk He reached up to hold his hair back in a ponytail, checking the silhouette of the outfit. The pants weren't too high on his waist just how he liked. He could add some earrings to this outfit if his hair was back and maybe some white boots would go well. Felix chewed his lip, examining himself strategizing his plans, listening to Minhyuk in the background. He turned sharply, a confused smile peeking from the corner of his lips. "Oh really, some handsome 33 year old. Do you know a guy?" Felix was playing around just as he was but he had to admit. Minhyuk was funny. The approach was appreciated. Maybe Felix did need jewelry to go with this... maybe some shoes. Maybe he did need a bodyguard. "I think I've done enough damage in this store. I should go see what else there is and check out. Wait for me okay?" Admittedly, the last outfit was probably the one, but the way Minhyuk looked at him in the first one... that might give the right amount of wow factor. He couldn't decide. Swaths of clothes littered the floor of the changing room. He scooped them up, tucking them under his arm as he bounced out the dressing room redressed and heading to the counter. "So what do you got going on today Minhyuk?"

@Lee Felix It seemed the guy in front of him had much confidence, as he didn’t even blush when Minhyuk told him how stunning he was in his eyes, like it was something he was so used to hearing. It was a nice surprise the stunning boy reacted differently when he called him y, and it made him smile a bit. “Very y.” His voice said calmly, watching him checking how he looked, even when both of them knew he looked stunning. “Nice to meet you too, Felix.” Showing his charming smile at him, noticing how his words made him happy., like taking his offer with two hands. “How can I be busy for someone so stunning? I came here to buy new clothes, alone.” Watching him go back to try on more clothes he just waited for him. Enjoying himself pretty much as it was really nice to be around him, he really didn’t expect to have much fun when going to buy new clothes. Felix was so beautiful and he wanted to keep looking at him, at least as long he is allowing him to do so. It seemed like the beautiful boy appreciated his sincere opinion. Scanning him from head to toe, even with those simpler clothes he just looked so shining and great. His next question made him laugh. “Well- If I were a 72 year old, I would think this outfit definitely is calmer from the other ones you choose. Even so I would take all of the outfits as you looked so great with all of them. Maybe you can wear them while meeting some handsome 33 year old guy… I don’t know.” He winked at him and chuckled softly. “Do you want to keep giving me my private fashion show, or did you finish with your shopping for today?” He asked and couldn’t help but to smile at Felix, not sure he wanted it to be over so soon.

@Lee Minhyuk Stunning. Model. Mmm. Felix's body was humming with the compliments. It really made his mood glow.All things he knew to be true already, yet he always relished hearing them from someone else. He ran his tongue over his front teeth, shifting his weight back on his hip while toying with the pendant on his necklace. Deep brown eyes flicking over the older man before him, tilting his head to one side. "So you think I'm y ?" His brows quirked up minutely while he held the male's gaze, breaking eye contact and turning back to his reflection, the showroom mirrors giving him a full him 5 different views of the garments. "Felix," He said, shaking his head at the feathers, dubbing that they would be too much. Minhyuk was right, about more than one thing,"Nice to meet you." Felix's face lit up at the offer to try on more things, he was just about to stop bothering the man and abducting him into his long game of dress up, so when the words came from Minhyuk's own lips. "Are you sure I'm not holding you up from something, keeping you away from someone..?" It was a courtesy ask as the blond made his way back into the dressing room switching the outfit and talking over the door. "Just say the word, its no pressure to me Minhyuk, I understand if you're busy..." It would absolutely dampen his day, though he'd never let it show. Just one more outfit and he should be closer to being dressed. Stripping off his clothes and switching to the last outfit he stepped out, marching to his mark in the center of the mirrors and turning in a militant way. In this outfit that was a blend of the first fit and the last "Final looks, sweetie. Thoughts? Prayers? If you were a 72 year old man would this be too much of a distraction for you?"

@Lee Felix The smile on the stunning guy just made him look prettier even when it was impossible to be this beautiful. Liking to see his big eyes staring back at his body, Minhyuk had much confidence with his body after working out since he was just a little kid. “Well you are stunning, so I bet everyone in the room just stares at you when you walk in.” He did understand it might be annoying to him but also it was too hard not to look at him. “Do you need a bodyguard?” He couldn’t help but to flirt with him, his lips a bit. To see him pouting almost made him frown, he was too cute and too beautiful and he just realized he didn’t tell him his name back, he was too distracted to notice. Minhyuk didn’t have time to say something but he would say yes anyway and the stunning boy knew he would, after all he was staring at him non stop. Scanning him from head to toe again he gasped a bit. “You look like a model… maybe a little too flashy, I liked the black outfit better on your y body.” A small smirk was playing on his face as he couldn’t resist complementing his body as well. He actually didn’t mind him checking more outfits as he wanted to keep looking at him. “Anything else you wanted to try? Oh- sorry, beautiful, I didn’t catch your name.” Minhyuk remembered suddenly that he forgot again to ask what his name was.

@Lee Minhyuk Though Felix caught the wow of astonishment, he didn't acknowledge it, pinching his lips together to not laugh. He knew for damn sure he would not be going out in any kind of trash bag but the sentiment was appreciated. A coy smile dipped into the corner of his lips, eyes flipping bashfully back up to look over the man. If he was shopping here he had to know what he was talking about, but the way his muscles were so defined through the shirt probably meant the clothes were just an accessory to the body. "Yeah you know," He spun on his heels checking the back in the mirror, "Its always the old men who don't know when to stop. That's what I was worried about." His lips dropped into a pout thinking about, constantly battling whether to go or not to go, chancing a glance up and meeting the eyes of Minhyuk, whose eyes were already on him and cracking a knowing smile. "Minhyuk, could I ask for more favors from you? I wanna try something else on. Can you tell me what you think of that? Please. Ill be quick." Without him even agreeing, Felix rushed into the changing room to put on another outfit, this time, fluffing out his sleeves on the way out with a smile, bouncing back over to Minhyuk and spinning around. "What do you think about this one? Too flashy?" He chuckled, tucking his hair back behind his ear, "Like this outfit with like a slicked back hair... what are we thinking?" He checked the mirrors again.

@Lee Felix Going shopping wasn’t his most favorite thing to do, but he did like having new expensive clothes.It was a calm thing to do and not full of action like his missions were. By now he was really professional, killing his enemies easily. Going to buy clothes felt so different, like having a double life where he was a normal guy and not someone from a really familiar gang. Minhyuk had so many suits but even his casual clothes were pretty expensive, after all looking good was something he always wanted to do. When having much money it was good spending it on the really good stuff. Like his luxury car, blue 2020 Chevrolet Corvette. Right now he was looking for some nice outfits for events, looking good was his weapon as well, people really fall for him easily, he was used to it, using their weakness against them always.

Checking some nice blue sweater, he was about to see himself in the mirror. Liking the way his muscles were noticeable while wearing it. When he heard someone calling him sweetie he turned his head to look at him. His eyes wide open a bit, the guy in front of him looked so stunning, with his long blonde hair, he noticed also his freckled cheeks, his big eyes but damn, his body wearing those tight clothes. Minhyuk was speechless while checking him out from head to toe. “Wow.” Slipped from his lips, coughing a bit to find his voice. “Well- I think you would look stunning even if you wore a trash bag.” His voice was quite soft to him, his smile was really something, oh that guy was totally his type. “But for real, you look great with that outfit, be careful, even if they are old they might try to hit on you.” His voice was calm again, he just couldn't take his eyes off of him, that guy was just too beautiful. “Minhyuk.” He said his name gently, not sure if it was a good idea to say his last name in case he knew his gang, even though he didn't have the name ‘Jung’ to it.

@Lee Minhyuk The day had started out early and somehow it still felt like time was running out. Felix had held plenty of garments up to his chest, weighing the pros and cons of each versus which accessories he already had at home to match them. He should have just opted out of the party, but his mom said she would pay if he represented them at the ceremony. Felix weighed out the pros and cons of that too, scooping up a few items under his arm and handing them to the man who worked there. He would look great, but would be surrounded by men more than three times his age all talking about... nothing really. "Ugh," he mumbled out loud, eyes searching for the dressing room. "Can you bring this in black to the dressing room for me?" He smiled, politely, even though the smile didn't reach his eyes and turned to try on the first outfit.

He spun around in the mirror of the dressing room, checking how the outfit worked with his hair up and down, quickly switching into another outfit and repeating the same actions. He was looking at it for too long. Things were beginning to overlap and cross in his mind. He needed outside help. Marching out of the poorly lit dressing room he stepped into front of the showroom mirrors, sweeping his hair back and posing, eyes examining the clothing carefully and frowning, eyes catching on the first customer he saw for review. "Excuse me, sweetie, could I ask your opinion?" Felix smiled, this time a real one. "Hi, what do you think of this outfit?" He spun around slowly, still talking, "I'm going to an event where a bunch of rich old guys are celebrating their fellow man's retirement," then leaned his weight back on other leg tucking his hand into his pocket. "What do you think? Too casual?"
